She competes in multi-day expedition races that combine trail running, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and navigation, pushing herself against the world’s best in some of the toughest environments. She has represented New Zealand internationally and consistently performs at the front of major expedition races. She is known for her resilience, grit and ability to keep moving and remain positive when things get hard.
Her achievements include 6th place at the 2024 World Championships, nearly 2nd at GODZone 2025 (got pulled from the course after battling hypothermia on the final stage), 2nd at the 2024 Magnificent, and 3rd Open female in the Coast to Coast Longest Day 2023.
Molly comes to Four to remain painfree and build strength to keep her body functioning at its best through the huge training load her sport demands. She values hands on treatment including massage and dry needling, to stay on top of small issues before they become bigger problems. She races for the love of adventure and the opportunity to push beyond her limits. Her top advice for injury prevention is to “tackle the niggles early (don’t let them become race-ending problems!), strength train, and prioritise sleep.
